After about 1 year of development, the third one to born on the family is the DACBerry PRO.
A High-End I2S Sound Card specially designed to fit on practically all of the Raspberry Pi models and other compatible boards.

Up to 384kHz playrate and Balanced Analog Output, supported by using the XLR expansion board for DACBerry PRO.

With a built-in 3W Hi-Fi Stereao Hedphone Amplifier, you will be able to use from 4 Ohm to 600 Ohm Professional Studio Headphones. Two RCA and one 6.35mm jack are fitted to the board.

DACBerry PRO is one of the most advanced Raspberry Pi Soundcards in the market, with four independent Ultra Low-Noise Power Supplies to bring you the best Audio Experience ever. No external power needed!

Prototype boards are already fully working and we have validated the design. So after the campaign ends we will go to mass production.

• Why DACBerry PRO on Kickstarter?

With your help DACBerry PRO is about to become a reality and start mass production! That's the reason why we are launching this project on Kickstarter.

• How can I get a DACBerry PRO?

You can reserve your DACBerry PRO during the thirty (30) days of the Kickstarter campaign at a lower price in comparison to the full retail price. Once the campaign is over and production starts in full, we will start pre-selling our device through our website (www.osaelectronics.com).

• How do I select the model?

When the campagin ends, you will be able to select your desired model!

• Will be a case available?

Yes, will be! We are making efforts to have it before campaign ends, but injection molds are too expensive for just a few units. So we hope we can achieve our goals to bring all people a case for the two models!

• Why that shipping cost?

There are other cheaper options but we want to offer you the best possible solution. The rate includes Insurance, door by door and 24-48h delivery. All the units will be sent using Fedex Express International.
We recommend you to select x2, x3 or x5 options, because shipping costs will be the same, and you can share it with your friends!

• Is the Raspberry Pi included?

Of course, not! :)

• What is going to happen after Kickstarter campaign ends?

Immediately after we finish our campaign and we receive the funds (15 days) we will start the mass production of the device.

• How much will shipping cost, and how long will it take?

There is only one shipping option via Kickstarter, however terms and ETA’s will vary depending on each country. Also we are starting the delivery in Backers order. After Kickstarter campaign and pre-sales ends you will be able to choose the alternative that better suits your delivery needs.

Risks and challenges

Developing all the DACBerry PRO is not cheaper and requires a lot of money and time to invest. All of the contributions will be directly re-invested in the new products of the family like DACBerry NTB or DACBerry Tube designs. We want to bring you new solutions for your designs!

Also a huge investment has been done on laboratory intrumentation for prototype testing and development.

Our goal is to send every item in a excepcional condition, in a cool package and with so many love to you :)

Also we are working hard to have official support of 3rd party software to make an easy integration for you, and to have many choices about how to implement it.
